📉

Selling streak — 2 quarters in a row

last 6Q

83% of all-time peak
596 funds currently hold this stock — 83% of the 3.0-year high of 722 funds (reached 2025 Q2). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉

Outflows — 7% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
45 fewer hedge funds hold SFM compared to a year ago (-7% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟠

More sellers than buyers — 46% buying

351 buying413 selling
Last quarter: 413 funds reduced or exited vs 351 that bought or added. When more than half of active funds are selling, it's a caution flag — especially if the stock price hasn't moved down yet.
📈

Methodology note: these Smart Money cards use consecutive 13F disclosure snapshots, not trade-by-trade execution data. "Buying", "selling", "new holders", and "trimmed" refer to quarter-over-quarter changes in reported holders, aggregate shares, or disclosed position values between filings. They are useful for ownership regime analysis and crowding, but they do not imply exact trade timing on the filing date.
